Volume 1 Past Events Chapter 5 The Bloody Battle of the Golden Gate
Zhao Shan was bitter in his heart at this time, the defensive formation he arranged was rushed by the opponent in one round, and the opponent was like a sharp sword, deeply piercing into the center of the Longshan camp, looking at the leader on the opposite side, Zhao Shan felt the fear of death, and the hands holding the long knife couldn't help but tremble.
"Hold on, hold on, kill me. β
Zhao Shan shouted out the fear in his heart, and reluctantly raised the long knife in his hand, but everything was in vain, only to see a lightning bolt falling from the sky, Zhao Shan felt that he was flying, the fear in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he felt extremely relaxed, but what did he see? This was the last thing Zhao Shan wanted to say but couldn't say, at this time he still maintained the movement of raising the knife, but his head had already flown out far away.
At the moment when Zhao Shan raised his knife, he was noticed by Gu Bin, he saw that this should be a leader of the Longshan battalion, after stabbing a soldier in front of him, he threw the spear in his hand at Zhao Shan with all his strength, but Zhao Shan did not find it at all, or even if he found it, he may not be able to react, the spear pierced through Zhao Shan's throat, and due to the excessive force, it actually broke the entire neck and threw Zhao Shan's head away.
Zhao Shan's death completely crushed the morale of the Longshan battalion, and the defensive formation that had been dispersed by Gu Yuwei was even more chaotic at this time, those who wanted to escape could not retreat, and those who wanted to fight could not go up, but in this narrow lane, it became the straw harvested by Gu Yuwei.
Sun Mansion is the largest mansion in this Kinmen Pass, and the old Sun family has been operating a teahouse and tavern in Kinmen Pass for generations, which is quite famous. But he was kicked out of his hometown after entering the Longshan camp and used to temporarily detain Liu Ning, in fact, Meng Hao took care of Liu Ning's life and daily life very well along the way, after all, he was ordered to do things, and he didn't want to offend the eldest prince because of these trivial things, although he was a prince who had already committed treason.
"You and I are both comrades of Dacheng, and now that you are traitors in power, despising the imperial power, and corrupting the dynasty, do you still want to do that thing of stealing the country for those great rebels? β
After the Longshan battalion composed of more than 2,000 people passed through the city gate, there were not many people left in the battle, and there were only 500 people who could fight at this time. All of them were concentrated outside Sun's house, and the leader never showed up, and the leading deputy general Zhao Shan was beheaded by the enemy in the battle just now. Gu Bin's heart at this time is also unbearable, it is not impossible to kill them all, but it is time-consuming and thankless, and secondly, everyone works for the imperial court, and there is no hatred and hatred, so Gu Bin moved to persuade him to surrender.
After hearing Gu Bin's persuasion, the Longshan camp began to stir, after a night of fighting, they didn't even know who the enemy was, at this time I heard that it was the legendary Gu Yuwei who fought with them, no wonder they were beaten so badly, I used to hear those old people say, Gu Yuwei passed through the place, the corpses were all over the field, I still didn't believe it, at this time I saw Gu Yuwei's combat effectiveness, they knew what the real killing machine was, from less than half an hour after they broke through, the Longshan camp had been slaughtered for most of it, and this was a street battle, the war horse could not be used, if it was fighting outside the pass, their own group of people was not enough for them to chargeγ
At this time, the rest of the people have been killed to the point of fear, what are they serving as soldiers for? They are not border troops, and they do not fight many times, but they have only carried out a few tasks to suppress bandits. With some of Meng Hao's cleverness, every task was successfully completed, and he also gained a certain prestige. Escorting the prisoners this time I thought it would be a very easy errand, but I didn't expect that next to the imperial capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, we would usher in this Grim Reaper who seemed to come out of hell. They did not serve the army to kill the enemy and serve the country, in fact, they just put down the agricultural tools in their hands, took the weapons, and changed a way to make a living. At this time, hearing the persuasion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some people began to put down the weapons in their hands, and gradually, everyone put down the weapons in their hands, and they got out of the way, revealing the Sun Mansion that they were guarding in the rear.
Gu Bin took the lead, and under the attention of the soldiers of the Longshan battalion, he came to the gate of the Sun Mansion.
"Search every room quickly, and make sure to ensure the safety of the eldest prince. β
Gu Bin's mood at this time was excited and suspicious, excited because he could see the eldest prince immediately, and he could follow him, and the imperial capital was clear. The doubt is that Meng Hao, the leader of the Longshan battalion, has not been found from beginning to end, if he escapes from the battle, it is fine, if not, Gu Bin is worried that Meng Hao will use the safety of the eldest prince as a bargaining chip to blackmail him.
Gu Qiu came over from the remaining Longshan camp and said to Gu Bin: "Master, the people from the Gu Longshan camp said that the eldest prince is being held in the backyard, and there is no one else in it except the eldest prince. β
Gu Bin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Okay, you go with me to greet the eldest prince, and the others will be deployed in place, and after I rescue the eldest prince, I will return to the imperial capital immediately." β
The group came to the backyard, in this stormy night, all the oil lamps in the yard had already been blown out by the wind, and Meng Hao sent all the subordinates out after placing Liu Ning here, leaving only the soldiers to guard outside the courtyard, so the entire backyard looked a little gloomy. If it weren't for the torch in Gu Yuwei's hand, ordinary people would not even be able to see the corridor in this backyard clearly.
Walking through the corridor and coming to the door of the hall, Gu Bin crossed the crowd and stepped on the door, and when he saw Liu Ning sitting in the first place by the light of the fire, he had been restless and relaxed.
Gu Bin moved forward quickly, stopped when he was still nine steps away from Liu Ning, and when he saw Liu Ning's face clearly, Gu Bin stood on the ground with the long knife in his left hand, knelt down on one knee with his right leg, and supported his chest with his right fist, and gave a standard military salute to Liu Ning at the top.
"Chen Gubin, participate in His Royal Highness the Great Prince, the minister is late to save the driver, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive his sins. β
Blood accompanied by rain, drop by drop fell to the ground where Gu Bin was kneeling.
Liu Ning, who was sitting at the top of the table, nodded and said:
"Flat, the loyalty of the prince, this prince is very pleased. β
After that, Liu Ning, who was dressed in a prison uniform, took the initiative to get up and walked towards Gu Bin.
When Liu Ning was only one step away from Gu Bin, something happened suddenly.
I saw Gu Bin's half-kneeling body violently moving forward, holding the knife in his left hand and swinging it towards Liu Ning in front of him. Everything happened between lightning and flint, and when everyone thought that Liu Ning was going to become the ghost of Gu Bin's knife, a strange scene appeared.
When Gu Bin slashed down, he knew that the knife had failed, and there was still a trace of Liu Ning in front of him at this time. Only a white mist that had not yet dissipated floated in the air, but at some point, the entire lobby was filled with this white mist.
